According to information circulating in the Italian press the Industry Committee of the Italian Senate has just concluded its votes on the amendments to the Agriculture Decree, opening a gap with respect to the possibility of installing ground-mounted photovoltaic plants, which was restricted by the same. An amendment was approved for plants that have already started the authorisation process. The watershed is set at having started, at the time of entry into force of the rule, one of the administrative procedures for authorisation, “including those of environmental assessment, which are necessary to obtain permits for the construction and operation of the installations and related works, or at least one of these permits has been issued“.
